Rahm Proposes Required Videotaping of All Chicago Gun Sales

Months after a federal judge ruled its ban on handgun sales was unconstitutional,Chicago has responded with a sweeping ordinance loaded with strict regulations.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported Tuesday that Mayor Rahm Emanuel (D) is proposing rules that would require videotaping of all gun sales — a move designed to warn buyers against transferring firearms into the hands of criminals. The ordinance would also include special-use zoning that limits gun stores to only 0.5 percent of the city.
